Chapter 20 Chapter 20
Vance Nian Deputy General Office.
Ningxia stood with his hands in his hands, looking east and west, especially the huge white silk hand-painted screen, which was a master's handwriting at a glance, which was very artistic and abstract to the public.
She thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't understand it.
Lu Xiao approached with his arms crossed and stood side by side with her. Glancing at her obliquely, "This is a freehand abstract painting that I bought at a high price from a French art exhibition, do you see the warm color in the middle, it represents vitality, the organic shape on it is someone and something, do you pay attention to the rectangle on the left, does it look like a bed?" β
She spoke in a slighter tone, and then laughed immediately after the question was raised: "Forget it, it's just nothing to talk to you, what do you know." β
Ningxia smiled, not a little annoyed, "You're right, I don't understand." Since you know everything, what are you looking for me to do? β
"You think I want to!" Lu Xiao glared at her hatefully, turned around and walked to the white leather sofa and sat down, there was a pack of women's cigarettes on the small rectangular coffee table in front of her, she took out one, and there was an extra metal lighter in her hand, and the flames jumped out on the ground, and the cigarette was lit.
Ningxia never knew that she could smoke, and watched her quietly.
She took a puff and raised her gaze, "Ningxia, I know you're clever, you must be able to guess that I'm in trouble." Are you happy now and want to see my jokes? She held a cigarette in her right hand, her fingertips curled slightly, and her face was unwilling, "Seriously, I can't believe I would ask you for help." β
She slowly exhaled a puff of smoke rings, and Ningxia didn't choke this time.
I had noticed that something was wrong with her early on, but now it seemed that this was a bit beyond imagination.
Ningxia didn't even move forward, she stood in place, separated by distance, through the air, through the smoke, and said thoughtfully: "You haven't told me yet, let me help you with something." β
Lu Xiao was stunned, a little puzzled, "Why didn't you ask me what trouble I was in first?" β
Ningxia was speechless and sighed: "You are you." β
ββ¦β¦β
Although he was angry, Lu Xiao felt that his heart was stagnant for a second. Ningxia's expression was too natural, and her tone was too ordinary, she stared at her, stared, her eyes drooped, and she took a deep breath of cigarette uncomfortably.
Why is she uncomfortable, even she can't say herself.
Ningxia was patient and asked again: "What can I help you?" β
Lu Xiao extinguished the cigarette butt, swept away the irritability that Ningxia brought her, and looked over, "You just need to do a good job in the cake room, and report anything to me at any time in the cake room." β
"Oh." Ningxia pondered, "You brought me here to let me be your eyeliner." β
Her tone was so contemptuous, Lu Xiao was inexplicably weak-hearted.
She was straightforward, and she didn't know whether to explain it to herself, or emphasize it to Ningxia, "You are fake to death, you can easily deceive a vote of people, and you don't want to find anyone." β
"I'll just treat you like you're praising me." Ningxia raised his eyebrows and smiled indifferently, "There is only one reason why you pull down your face to find me?" β
"What else could there be."
Also, you're young, and those guys in the bakery aren't going to bully a girl. You are smart and able to adapt to unexpected situations. You have the skills to keep yourself from being swept away.
Of course, none of these Lu Xiao will admit it. As for other reasons, she would not say.
Ningxia nodded, and said with the encounter: "Okay, I see that it is not easy for you, so I will reluctantly go back to the undercover to help you." β
The word "help" made Lu Xiao very uncomfortable, "I'm trading with you, don't look like I owe you." If you want to say that you owe, you owe me. β
Ningxia was happy: "What do I owe you?" β
"I'll pay you."
"That's what I earned."
Lu Xiao choked and continued: "There is Xu Zhengze in the cake shop, and you have more opportunities to steal teachers. β
It's just because of Xu Zhengze that it's terrifying.
Ningxia swallowed back when the words came to her mouth, stealing teachers also depends on personal talent, she came here again, and she did have this plan, but whether the talent is enough or not has yet to be developed.
***
After signing a labor contract at the Ministry of Human Resources of Vancenian, Lu Xiao went back to the deputy general office, and Ningxia went to take the elevator. β
Ningxia waved his hand: "Forget it, as soon as you go to the cake room, you are the one who plays the prestige, and it is not me who stays and suffers?" She muttered quietly, "If you provoke Xu Zhengze with your open mouth, then I will be even more unlucky." β
The first sentence alone had already angered Lu Xiao's explosive nerves, and the last sentence was small but could be heard clearly, Lu Xiao immediately turned his face ruthlessly, "Whatever you want!" β
Ningxia smiled: "Then we will contact us again." She waved her hand and walked in the direction of the employee elevator with her memories of coming.
When he came out of the elevator, he bumped into Xu Siqi in the corridor, and he came from the direction of the warehouse with a large basket in his arms.
Xu Siqi was stunned at first when he saw her, and then frowned, "Didn't you resign and leave, why did you come again?" β
Ningxia blinked, "Who told you that I resigned, no." β
Xu Siqi is not a person who is easy to fool, he rolled his eyes, "Borrow, don't get in the way." β
Ningxia gave way to the side, followed his footsteps, and said, "Something happened to my hometown, and I only rushed back last night." Did you get angry when you left too quickly and didn't ask for leave? β
Xu Siqi stopped his steps and stared at her silently. Ningxia's face did not change, and he still looked nervous.
He suddenly lowered his head and leaned closer to her left ear, "I passed by a pastry shop on Qingxi Road a few days ago and saw you coming out of it. You don't need to remind you what's the name of that cake shop, can you? β
His voice was cloudy, his exhalation was slightly hot, and Ning Xia subconsciously took a step back, touched it with his right hand and rubbed his ears.
"Liar." Xu Siqi looked at her with disdain.
"You've mistaken someone." Although it was exposed, Ningxia's face remained silent, "I'll go change my clothes and see you back." β
"I hope I admit my mistake, Ningxia, you ask for more blessings." Xu Siqi said expressionlessly behind her.
She turned her head and curled her lips, "Thank you for your concern." β
It's really good to kick your nose in the face! Xu Siqi was suddenly angry and funny.
When Ningxia left last time, she quietly put the key of the wardrobe on the top of the cabinet, she stood on tiptoe and touched it, but it was still there.
Come to think of it, there is no shortage of newcomers in the pastry room, as long as there is no turnover of people, even if her wardrobe is locked all the time, no one will pay attention.
Dressed neatly, Ningxia pushed the door and walked into the cake room, perhaps because Xu Siqi had already squeaked with everyone, and everyone saw her without showing a surprised expression. Some people even laughed: "Yo, Xiao Xia is back." β
The person's surname is Wang, and in the past, Ningxia used to call Master Wang, but now she decided to follow the customs. She raised a smile and replied, "Brother Wang, long time no see." β
This kind of title will bring people closer to each other, and Brother Wang is very useful, saying: "I heard Xiao Qi say that you went back to your hometown to do errands, and you are too, why don't you say hello." If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you have to ask for a leave of absence, I'm really afraid of him, so it's okay to ask Brother Liang, it's a big deal to come back and be scolded. β
Ningxia's attitude was sincere, "Yes, yes, I was wrong." β
She looked at Xu Siqi gratefully and walked towards the pool with a plate, this person was indeed quite interesting, although he mocked her, he didn't stab the knife behind his back.
Ningxia looked at both sides and asked, "Why don't you see Brother Liang?" β
Rhubarb said on the side: "Brother Liang is ordering." β
"Oh." Ningxia lowered the decibels, "So what?" β
Brother Wang put his hand to his mouth and grinned: "I didn't come today." β
Ningxia smiled: "No wonder you all let your guard down. She rolled up her sleeves and quickly blended in, "I'm here to help, what do you need me to do?" β
"Come and peel the skin!" It was Xu Siqi who spoke up.
He held a basket of fruit, raised his eyes, and motioned for her to come.
Ningxia didn't say a word, "Okay." β
When Jin Zhiliang came back, Ningxia was working on the peeler, Xu Siqi was beside her to cut the peeled apples into slices, and asked coldly, "Where is your hometown?" β
Ningxia's face froze and did not answer.
Xu Siqi glanced at her, sneered clearly, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, your hometown is Nanxiang, right?" Ningxia, I can be regarded as convincing you, and the pretending is really a set. β
"It's not."
"Huh?"
Ningxia looked up, "No." She smiled, and there was a flash of emotion in her eyes, "I'm from Beizhou." β
"Northstate?"
"Hmm." She lowered her head again.
Xu Siqi looked at her fair side face and muttered, "No wonder you have a strong northern accent." β
"Yes." Ningxia looked at him with clear eyes, "I don't think so." β
"Xiao Xia, you come out." Jin Zhiliang's face was slightly gloomy, he caught a glimpse of her from a distance, and shouted.
"Oh." Ningxia turned to Xu Siqi and said, "You help me look at it." β
Xu Siqi said sympathetically: "This is only the first level, and more severe tests are yet to come." β
Ningxia understood what he meant, and Xu Zhengze's pass was the most fatal.
Ningxia followed Jin Zhiliang to his cubicle, Jin Zhiliang poured a cup of tea, put the cup on the table, dragged out the chair and sat down, his eyes were heavy, "The cake room has the rules of the cake room, it's not that you can leave if you want to, come as you say." β
"I know." Ningxia said, "Brother Liang, I was too impulsive that day, I'm sorry." β
"Don't say I'm sorry. Let me ask you, did you come back again, did you make peace with Vice President Lu? β
"Hmm. I begged her. Ningxia felt a chill in his heart, but his mouth was real, "I like to make desserts, and the cake shop is an opportunity for me, and I shouldn't miss it." This is true, if you can succeed in stealing the teacher, it is indeed a good opportunity.
Jin Zhiliang looked at her for a long time and waved his hand, "Okay, let's go out." β
It's so easy to over?
Ningxia smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Brother Liang." β
"Natsu-!"
When she opened the door, she heard Jin Zhiliang stop her.
"Is there anything else to do, good brother?"
"When the chef asks, you just have to apologize and don't say anything else. Especially what I just said. β
Ningxia's love is complicated, in fact, she doesn't need him to remind her that she knows that she can't take the tender route to deal with Xu Zhengze, and he suddenly kindly pointed out, which made her feel ashamed.
Being stared at by her like this, Jin Zhiliang awkwardly put aside his face and picked up the teacup, "I just think you are a good seedling for making desserts, I want to give you a chance, don't think about it." β
Ningxia pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, thank you Brother Liang again." β
Xu Zhengze did not appear for two days in a row, and the wording that Ningxia had already calculated could not be played in time, and he was almost forgotten in a blink of an eye.
Same as the previous path to work, she still chooses to take the subway when she goes out every day, and it is crowded during the high-peak period, and occasionally for a moment, she can't help but envy Jiang Yiran for traveling and driving. and Ye Xiaofan, she has already driven her own car to the company to do an errand.
But it's really just a little envy, and it only dares to envy for a few seconds, and every time a thought arises and falls, his eyes are slightly sour.
She was terrified, powerless to resist.
***
The lights in the underground parking lot of Chenliang Mansion were as bright as day, and Ye Zhaojue passed under the car barrier and parked along the entrance into the exclusive parking space. Pull out the key, pull the car door and get out of the car, when I suddenly hear a call.
It's an unfamiliar mobile phone ringtone, but it's close to the car.
He followed the sound and looked back to see a white shoulder bag lying across the back seat of the car.
The bell was still chattering, he stretched out his long hand, passed through the driver's seat to get to him, hesitated for a second, unzipped it, and lifted it gently, but was unexpectedly hindered. When he took the phone out of the bag, he found that there was a number of jΓΉ lines inserted at the bottom, and the other end of the count jΓΉ line was connected to a mobile power bank with a green light.
The phone screen was in front of his line of sight, and the shiny call alert on it had a name written on it: a certain eldest lady.
